Abstract Safety at the location of road works is an
important part that is often overlooked in the construction
and maintenance of roads. Management of the safety of the
road work location is the responsibility of the road manager.
In general, knowledge about Occupational Health and
Safety (OSH) is very broad, but there are several OHS
components that are considered important to be used as a
benchmark for understanding OSH. These components are
K3 Definition and Initiation, K3 Management System
(SMK3), Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), K3
Facilities and Infrastructure, OHS Risk. Research on the
influence of occupational safety and health knowledge on
occupational health on construction worker behavior was
carried out to determine the effect of K3 knowledge
variables together on the behavior of construction workers.
And to know the effect of K3 knowledge variables partially
on the behavior of construction workers. From the results
of the study it can be concluded that there is a relationship
or a low level of correlation between K3 Knowledge and
Workers' Behavior while the value of the Determination
Coefficient (adjusted r square) is 0.033 which means only
3.3% of K3 Knowledge aspects that affect Construction
Worker Behavior and the remaining 96.7% is influenced
by other variables. Based on the results of the T-test
calculation using the method of calculation of Multiple
Linear Regression the value of t count <t table, there is no
significant effect of K3 knowledge variables (Definition
and Initiation, Management Systems, Personal Protective
Equipment, Facilities and Infrastructure, Risk) jointly
towards Construction Worker Behavior on the Toll Road
Development Project.
Keywords OSH Management System, Determination
Coefficient, Risk, T-test
1. Introduction
Safety at the location of construction work and road
maintenance is a dangerous job. Although there is no
official data on the number of accidents related to road
works, it is believed that the number of accidents at the
location of road works is quite high. Heavy accidents at the
location of road works are often reported in newspapers.
Two recent accidents occurred on the Puncak - West Java
route. A traffic guide is hit by a truck and dies while on
duty. In another accident in a bridge maintenance project,
five people were hit by an overloaded vehicle. Various
studies abroad show that the risk of accidents with heavy or
fatal casualties is three times higher than when there is road
work. Therefore, many countries impose tougher sanctions
for traffic violators at the location of road works.
In general, knowledge about Occupational Health and
Safety (OSH) is very broad, but there are several OHS
components that are considered important to be used as a
benchmark for understanding OSH. These components are
K3 Definition and Initiation, K3 Management System
(SMK3), Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), K3
Facilities and Infrastructure, OHS Risk. Useful definitions
and initiations for the initial description of OSH in a
construction project that is closely related to general
recognition such as definitions of terms, abbreviations of
abbreviations, meanings and meanings of OSH symbols,
involved organizational structures, internal and external
parties related to functions implementation of K3, and so
on. The SMK3 process uses the PDCA (Plan Do Check
Action) approach, which starts from planning,
implementing, checking, and remedial actions. Thus, the
